Kenya enjoys distinctive, vast areas of savannah plains, a variety of natural reserves and different species of animals, which allow the African country to organise unique safaris for tourists.
However, everything comes at a price, as recent years witnessed a rise in the number of wild animal attacks on humans, according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

Kenyan women have been demonstrating in Nairobi this month to protest male oppression, after one of them was stripped naked at a bus stop for wearing a miniskirt.
The campaign "My dress, my choice", launched after the incident, shows that Kenyan women still have to fight for their rights, an issue at the center of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which is celebrated worldwide Tuesday.
In early November, a woman wearing a mini skirt was attacked at a Nairobi bus stop by a group of men who considered she was dressed in an "indecent" manner and was a "Jezebel" (biblical prostitute) who was "tempting" them.
Hundreds of people took to the streets to demand an end to this kind of attitudes.
